Known for his incredibly dynamic array of club-equipped tech house releases, Bruno Furlan is a one-man show who’s traveled across multiple continents to spread his renowned signature house style. Now he returns for “The Rhythm,” a single which doesn’t stray far from his roots, yet pushes the envelope in areas of design, arrangement, and overall track personality.

“The Rhythm,” is packed full of surprises. An infectiously soulful vocal topline acts as a centerpiece of the release, with the other key focus being the mysteriously heavy basslines darting at listeners at the familiar pace of 128BPM. Bruno Furlan has brought forth a house banger that will push a live set to a peak and elevate the club to another level. From start to finish, the song flows with a natural grace while also being dotted with plenty of sonic cues fans will recognize as Bruno Furlan’s unique natural touch.

Bruno Furlan is an aficionado of the tech house sound. His catalog includes a variety of sub-genres influenced from the many corners of the tech house world. Past releases feature Latin styles, others showcase exotic/jungle vibes, while many stick with a classic, catchy attitude that’s at the core of what makes tech house great. With this said, all are uniquely connected by a specific energy best described as Bruno Furlan’s signature style.

With over 200K monthly listeners, 12 million collective streams just on Spotify, and label releases on Hot Creations, Black Book Records, Ditrybird, Club Sweat, Bruno Furlan has crossed over to the big leagues and has nowhere to go but up. “The Rhythm,” symbolizes yet another clever inclusion to the fascinating movement he’s brought to the world.

DHALI & dagi Release ‘Ibiza, Circoloco’ on 23 Hours

DHALI and dagi release ‘Ibiza, Circoloco’ via 23 Hours, a groove-heavy club track born from a TikTok that went viral and sparked over 50 unofficial remixes.

German DJ/Producer DHALI today releases ‘Ibiza, Circoloco’ with dagi, via independent German music label 23 HOURS. The record captures the golden-hour energy of one of Ibiza’s most storied dancefloors.

Evolving organically through the momentum of online communities, DHALI and dagi bring one of the most exciting viral-to-club moments of the moment into its final form. It started with a TikTok filmed on a jog – dagi singing an unproduced topline over no beat, just a melody and the now trending vocal. The clip amassed millions of views, over 50 unofficial remixes followed, hundreds of creations, and the demand for an official release became impossible to ignore.

DHALI, who counts over 40 million cumulative streams, is known for his unique blend of Afro-house, Latin house, and melodic house. DHALI translates the energy of the original moment into a full, club-ready production. Deep, groove-heavy, and anchored by a bassline destined for the summer festival season ahead. dagi’s vocals brings warmth and melody to the top end, giving the track a sun-drenched quality with major dancefloor weight.

The momentum also caught the attention of the international club scene. Jamie Jones, one of the most influential House DJs in the world and a longtime resident of the legendary Circoloco parties in Ibiza, became aware of the track and engaged with the growing hype surrounding it.

Despite being one of Germany’s biggest creators, nothing in dagi’s world has moved quite like this. With both her and DHALI sharing a genuine love for Ibiza and the culture of the island, ‘Ibiza, Circoloco’ feels less like a community celebration of the White Isle and the music and lifestyle that defines it.

Ibiza, Circoloco represents a new form of music creation. Not strategically manufactured, but born from a spontaneous moment, picked up by the community, continuously evolved, and ultimately transformed into an official release.

Casa de Afro: Where African Roots Ignite Mexico City Nights

In the beating heart of Mexico City, something special is unfolding after dark. Casa de Afro is not your average dance music series. It is a warm, living connection between the ancient rhythms of Africa and the electric energy of modern club life. Founded by Dr. ADO and Bud Lee, this project brings people together through Afro House in a way that feels genuine, respectful, and full of soul.

The Visionaries Behind the Sound

Dr. ADO grew up in London with Ghanaian roots running deep in his veins. Yet it was his years spent fully immersed in South Africa’s vibrant scene that shaped him as an artist. He stood side by side with legends like Vanco, Culoe De Song, Major League DJz, Thakzin, and Cuebur, learning the true essence of Afro-Tech straight from the source. That real-world experience shines through in every track he touches. His song “Get Away” has already passed 1.6 million streams on Spotify, and his recent Anjunadeep Explorations releases with BokkieUlt, “Hold My Hand” and “Starlight,” have earned him serious respect in the global underground.

Bud Lee Casa de Afro Bud Lee adds the perfect balance. Hailing from Philadelphia, this African-American artist carries more than ten years of music experience. He has poured his heart into Afro House lately, bringing a soulful, distinctly American warmth that completes the picture. When these two step into the booth together, the chemistry is effortless because it comes from shared love for the diaspora and the music that connects it all.

Taking the Sound Across the World

Mexico City is still the heart of Casa de Afro, but the duo is making sure the vibe reaches far beyond. Their recent event at Maison Close in London’s Mayfair showed just how naturally the sound travels. In one of the planet’s toughest music cities, they created an intimate, magnetic night that felt right at home for fans on both continents.

Two Nights You Need to Catch This Spring

The founders have never forgotten the local crowd that helped them grow. This spring they are giving back with two very special appearances in Mexico City.

On April 17, head to Symphonie for a true late-night journey. The session runs from 10 PM straight through until 5 AM. Expect deep, hypnotic Afro House grooves that wrap around you in one of the city’s most atmospheric clubs. Get your tickets through here.

Then on May 9, Casa de Afro joins forces with the global brand ¿PorquéNo? for their official Mexico City launch at the beautiful Faunna Rooftop. This is a proud milestone for the series, recognizing them as true pioneers of the sound in the region. Get your tickets through here.

Why It All Matters

Dr. ADO says it best: “We’ve worked hard to cultivate a community here that genuinely loves this music. To be able to bring that community along as we support global launches like ¿PorquéNo?, and to see the sound resonate in places like London, is a real honor for us. We’re just focused on keeping the quality high and staying true to the African roots, both by blood and by experience, that make this music what it is.”

That honest approach is what makes every Casa de Afro night feel like more than just a party. It feels like belonging.

Loz Seka Interview: Cuccú, Flamenca Records & BBC Radio 1

Loz Seka performing behind Pioneer DJ decks at a club night, wearing a black t-shirt and backwards cap with headphones resting on it, one arm raised toward the crowd, bathed in deep red club lighting with a packed dancefloor visible behind him.

Loz Seka on his Flamenca Records debut Cuccú, BBC Radio 1 support, and his journey from blues bands to Latin tech house.

Seka – who counts radio support from Danny Howard, Arielle Free, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah and Annie Mac, and club support from Fatboy Slim, Mark Knight, Solardo, MK, Sonny Fodera and Syreeta – was introduced to the FLAMENCA team via Toolroom Records.

Known for his Latin, Afro and Percussive Tech touch, it was a match made in heaven. Layering Arabesque sounding instrumentation over syncopating percussion and Latin rhythms, ‘Cuccú’ is a rolling club weapon that takes the FLAMENCA sound into the very beginnings of the summer season.

“I’m a huge fan of Flamenca, STBAN and the artists on the roster,” Seka said, “so I’m absolutely buzzing to be joining the family with ‘Cuccú’. Really excited and can’t wait to get this one out!”

Speaking about Seka’s FLAMENCA debut, label boss STBAN said: “As soon as I heard the track, I knew we had to sign it. Loz is an exciting new talent making exactly the kind of music the FLAMENCA family loves, so it was a no-brainer to bring him on board to release’ Cuccú’ with us.”

With so much support for the rising UK star coming from all corners, we thought it was about time we caught up with Loz to find out more…

You’ve just released your latest single ‘Cuccú’ on FLAMENCA Records – can you tell us a bit more about the track?

Hi guys, massive thanks for having me on, I really appreciate it.

I’m honestly buzzing to be releasing on FLAMENCA. The label is doing such great things at the moment and I’m honoured to now be part of the roster and the family.

Cuccú is one of my favourite records I’ve made to date. It leans into the Afro and Latin sound that I love both producing and playing out.

It’s a bit of a percussive late night weapon. It has that shoulder and hip shaking energy that I love, a huge lead and cool vocal hooks. It’s something I hope will resonate on the dancefloor just as much as it did in the studio while I was making it.

How did you get involved with the FLAMENCA Records team?

I sent some music to my good friend Danny Rhys from Toolroom just for some feedback. He listened and said he thought the track would actually suit FLAMENCA really well.

Not long after he did me a massive solid and sent it over to them for me, and they ended up signing it, so I’m massively grateful to him for that.

I was honestly blown away when they signed it. When you look at the level of artists on the roster, what STBAN and the team have created, and artists I love like Jesus Fernandez being involved, it’s a huge honour to be welcomed onto the label.

Working with the team since has also been a great experience. Super professional, really friendly and just genuinely nice people, which makes the whole process even better.

You’ve got a definite Latin sound to your work but you’re from the UK – what is it about the Latin vibe that attracts you musically?

The main thing is just the vibe. Every time I play out, people react to it straight away. There’s something about the vibe and rhythms that just makes people move.

I’m a big sucker for Jazz, Latin and Blues, and generally I’m just mad for percussion. Before making house music I was actually producing drum and bass, and even earlier than that I was in bands playing blues, jazz, ska and metal, so rhythm and drums have always been the thing that grabs me first when it comes to music. Because of that my music has always been quite percussion led so when I started leaning into Latin influences, it just felt really natural.

I also wasn’t massively connecting with some of the more mainstream tech house sounds at the time, but the Latin Tech side of things really reminds me of old school tech house. Dusty drums, rolling bass, cool vocals, maybe a synth or two, and that groove that you can lock into for ages.

You’ve got some serious support from some big names in British radio – Danny Howard, Arielle Free, Annie Mac. How helpful has their support been to your career so far?

Annie Mac is honestly an idol of mine. I grew up listening to her shows and they played a huge part in shaping my musical identity in dance music, alongside Mary Anne Hobbs. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Annie twice now and she has always been really inspiring and warm to talk to, so seeing her drop one of my tracks at Warehouse Project genuinely blew my mind. I cannot thank her enough for the support.

Arielle Free, it’s hard to put into words what she’s done for my career. She’s easily been the biggest supporter of my music over the last couple of years. I can’t thank her enough and I absolutely love her to bits. I’m so fortunate for how hard she backs my records.

I signed to her label and she booked me to play UNVRS, which are things I genuinely would not have thought possible a couple of years ago.

And of course getting the nod from Danny Howard, Jaguar and Jeremiah Asiamah as well is such a great feeling. When people at that level support your music it really does mean the world. Just Pete and Sarah left now for the full house!

You’re also being hyped by the guys over at Toolroom Academy – what kind of support have you got from them so far?

Honestly I would not be here right now if it wasn’t for the Toolroom Academy team and the people I’ve met through that network.

The first big record I released through Toolroom came from a collaboration with fellow Academy students. We organised our own writing camp before a big Toolroom night at Studio 338, and that track ended up getting signed to Trax, which really shows the power of the Academy.

Big up to my boys Harrt, Altere, Alex Lauthals and Keffi!

What started as doing the course has turned into some really important friendships. Danny Rhys, who manages the Trax label, has been a massive mentor to me and someone I’ve ended up making music with and signing to Trax!

Cal, who now runs the Academy, is also a really good friend of mine. We were actually on the same course together, so seeing him now managing the Academy is pretty incredible and something I’m massively proud of him for.

Also a big shout to Pete, Miles and the wider Toolroom team who have all been hugely supportive. The Academy has been a big part of my journey over the last few years.

Last year you played at UNVRS for Arielle Free – how was that for you?

Playing UNVRS was not even on my bingo card for this decade, let alone last year, so I can’t thank Arielle enough for that opportunity. She has been instrumental in so much of my trajectory over the last few years.

The club itself is something else, and The Wild Comet where I was playing was just incredible. Warming up and seeing people coming in and instantly vibing with the music was such a great feeling.

The sound system, the visuals and the whole spectacle of the place was pretty awe inspiring. Getting to spend the night there with friends, few bevs and watching Arielle and Edd smash their sets made it a really special night.

You’ve been supported by Fatboy Slim and played at his All Back To Minehead event. What’s it like having that kind of artist getting behind you and was he an influence of yours before the event?

Growing up in the UK, my first real introductions to dance music were Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy, so to get the nod and the call up from Norm is something I really don’t take lightly.

All Back To Minehead was honestly a dream. To have the backing of someone as influential as Fatboy Slim is incredible. It’s such an honour to be asked to come and play at his event. Big shout to Lizzie Curious as well who booked me for her stage.

It was also the first time I’ve ever had people coming up asking for photos after a set, which was a bit surreal. I was honestly a bag of nerves beforehand but it ended up being one of the best sets I’ve ever played.

You’ve won some silverware back in the UK for your work, tell us about that.

Yes, I won Best Producer at the Northampton Music Awards, which is pretty mind-blowing and I’m super grateful to the teams and everyone that voted for me!

The funny thing is, I was actually in Thailand on holiday at the time. I didn’t even know I had been nominated until the day before, so I had no time to promote it or anything like that.

I then woke up the next day to messages saying I had won and I honestly couldn’t believe it, so a huge thank you to everyone who voted for me! I celebrated with a few daiquiris by the pool that day, of course. Standard…

You had a BBC Introducing mix on British radio – how important has that been in terms of getting your sound out to a wider audience?

I’ve done a couple of BBC Introducing mixes now and it’s always such a pleasure.

My local BBC Introducing team, Kerrie & Connor, have been massively supportive and have really helped push my music and sound out across the Midlands. That support eventually led to me headlining their BBC Introducing event last year.

Playing my music to a packed room in my hometown, where there isn’t the biggest Latin tech scene, and seeing everyone properly vibing to it was a really special moment.

What top tier artists inspire you and whose career would you love to emulate?

Marco Lys for me is the king of groove. I would honestly love to just sit and watch him build his drums in the studio. He is also someone whose career I really respect.

He has been consistently releasing quality music for years and built a really solid reputation in the scene while still staying true to his sound. That kind of longevity is something I would love to achieve.

Also Iglesias and Jesus Fernandez. Again it’s that drum programming and groove that I would love to learn from them, they are the best in the biz!

And last but certainly not least I would absolutely love to make a track with Arielle Free at some point. She has been so instrumental in helping me get to where I am today and she’s such a great producer and a bundle of energy, so I think it would be a really fun studio session.

Thanks again for having me on to chat!
